are going to learn an important lesson, don’t fuck with Harry when he’s pregnant,” he declared and Jake laughed.
“You go get them, babe,” he said and they kissed. Then Harry looked around the store and his eyes got that slanty gleam in them.
“You ever do it to a pregnant man in a jewelry store?” he asked him suggestively. Jake felt his heart stop and sweat break out on his brow.
“No, I can’t say that I have,” he murmured. Harry grinned and wrapped his arms around his neck.
“Then I would say that you’re about to get lucky, handsome,” he whispered and he bit Jake’s lower lip and then licked it. Jake kissed him hard and they fell to the floor. Gertie and Bo wandered out, took one good look and then wandered back to back room; nothing new or exciting was happening out here.
When they got home Harry called DJ, Hans and Chan over and gave them an assignment, one that they all loved, especially when they saw the video of the two girls stealing from Jake and Harry’s store. This made them very angry. Then when they returned from their assignment Harry called Tammy and Amy and informed them what he had done and why and sent them an email of the theft. They were both shocked and agreed to pass on his message. Then Harry and Jake worked for a while making out the deeds to all of the cars and helos they had given out and then the next morning all the kids delivered the deeds to all the people who seemed surprised to get them but relieved when they realized that they had forgotten to get them in the first place.
The next morning Violet walked into the garage to drive over to Gloria’s, the older woman was taking her shopping for a little surprise for Harry. She took one look around the garage and then stormed back into the kitchen.
“Where the hell is my car?” she yelled and glared at her sister and Tammy who sat at the table eating breakfast. “What did you two bitches do with my car?” she snapped. Amy turned and grinned at her.
“Oh, you mean Harry’s car, oh, he came by last night and took his car back. He said that if you were going to steal from him, then you didn’t deserve to drive his car,” she informed her smugly. Violet looked shocked.
“What the hell do you mean Harry’s car, he gave that car to me, that’s my car,” she said. Amy shook her head.
“Did he give you a deed to that car, I have a deed to my car,” she said and waved the deed. Violet stomped over and read the ownership papers. She looked over at Tammy who waved similar papers.
“What the hell is this, some kind of joke?” Violet asked and tried to laugh. Susie came down and looked at them.
“What’s going on?” she asked. Violet showed her the papers and told her about her missing car. Susie ran to the garage and they could hear her scream.
“My car is missing; what did you two whores do with my car?” she came back and yelled. Amy handed them an email from Harry.
“Return my engagement rings and I’ll return your cars with the ownership deeds,” Violet read and she kicked a chair and screamed when it hurt.
“God damn-it to hell, that fucker can’t get away with this,” she screamed and kept on screaming for a half hour. She called Carl, the police chief, who told her than since Harry hadn’t given her ownership deeds to the car, it wasn’t really her car and she couldn’t arrest him for taking back his property. She, however, could be arrested for shop-lifting since they had both her and Susie on video stealing the rings. Harry and Jake were being really nice by not pressing charges. She hung on him in mid-sentence.
“Well, he can keep his stupid car, I’ll just walk and get rides from people,” she declared. Susie wasn’t so sure; she would rather have her car than a ring that didn’t fit. She sneaked out of the house and walked over to Harry’s and sobbing an apology, returned the ring and got back her car with the deed and was told she was now banned from the stores for the next three years as punishment. She nodded and drove off, happy that she had her car back.
When Violet found out what Susie had done she was first angry but then she smiled and hugged her, now that Susie had her car back, Violet figured she could do without her car. Susie could just give her a ride everywhere. She laughed and went to her room to play with her ring that was only a little bit big, in a few years, her fingers would grow and it would fit. And by that time, Jake would have tired of Harry and would want a real woman instead of a fake one and she would be around. Violet had switched her fantasies to a real man not some little fag like Harry. Anyone who would let a man do ‘that’ to him wasn’t a real man.
The next day everyone drove out to Macy’s to try on wedding clothes, it was the only store in town with wedding dresses and Harry had made them and all the tuxes rentals so that future generations would have clothes to get married in. All of the girls understood but that didn’t make them cry any less when they tried on the dresses.
“Come on, we’re going to be late for trying on the dresses,” Violet yelled at Susie who was sitting on her bed reading a magazine over for the seventh time. Susie looked at her blankly.
“What do you mean?” she asked her friend. Violet sighed; sometimes Susie could be so dumb.
“Macy’s, the girls are trying on their wedding dresses, we have to get something to wear to the wedding, come on, Susie,” Violet snapped. Susie looked like she was going to cry.
“We can’t go to Macy’s, Violet, I’ve been banned from there for the next three years,” she informed her sadly. Violet looked shocked.
“Who, why would they ban you?” she asked. Susie shrugged.
“Harry said that was my punishment for stealing the ring, I’ve been banned from all of their stores for the next three years and I’m pretty sure you’re banned too,” she informed her. Violet screamed and kicked the wall. Then she turned around and stomped off to her room and slammed the door. Susie sighed and went back to her magazine.
“I didn’t even want the stupid ring to begin with,” she muttered to herself and flipped the page.
At Macy’s the three brides tried on every single dress in their size which luckily were different sizes. April was a size eight, Kathleen was a six and Joon was a very slender four. Although pregnant, they were all a size larger, which pissed them off slightly. But they got over it once the layers of taffeta and lace was draped over them and all the other girls were gushing over them. Nyla couldn’t wait to get married now.
The men were trying on tuxes and Harry had decided on a white one for himself while the other grooms had decided on the traditional black. Jake looked fantastic in a formal black tux and Harry looked adorable in his white with a gray cummerbund.
All of the kids got formal wear and they all looked beautiful and then there were shoes which had to be dyed to match and more jewelry to go around long slender necks. Each of the girls got a beautiful diamond pendant, even Nyla who wasn’t getting married. And the boys got diamond cufflinks, except for Harry and Jake who picked out emerald ones.
The next day the men all raced their go-cars around the track while Harry and the girls baked the wedding cakes with Fran. Harry sculptured little brides and grooms that looked remarkably like the actual people causing the girls to weep. They were very emotional because of their hormones. They were also very hungry and ate an enormous amount of food and laughed about it. Harry made them all take a nice long walk afterwards; he wasn’t using this pregnancy to gain a zillion pounds. He made Jake wake up the next morning and they took the dogs out to the beach and he walked while Jake and the dogs ran.
“Oh, man, babe, we need to do this more often,” Jake gasped as he ran back and hugged him. Harry grinned and he bent down to pet the dogs were looked extremely happy.
“They look really happy, are my babies really happy,” he cooed and Gertie barked and wagged her whole body. Jake and Harry laughed. Bo who was quieter just wagged and jumped up on Jake who petted and kissed him. They walked back to the helo and gave the dogs water and had some themselves. Jake rubbed Harry’s belly.
“Good morning, Jackson, Daddy says hello,” he said cheerfully and loud. Harry grinned.
“I think you woke him up, Dad,” he teased him. Jake grinned and they kissed, long and hard. Harry murmured. “How about a quickie on the beach?” he suggested. Jake laughed.
“I like you pregnant, babe, you’re really horny,” he teased and Harry giggled.
“I can’t help it, honey, it’s my hormones or something, but I’m hard all the time, come on, let’s do it doggie style in front of the dogs,” he teased and that’s what they did.
Then they went home all sandy and took a shower and then mucked out the barn and did all their chores and got all dirty because Harry wanted to do it in the barn and Jake thought that was a really great idea. So they had to take another shower which made Fran laugh.
“Twice in one morning, come on, not even Superman could do it that much,” she teased them. Harry grinned.
“Obviously Superman isn’t married to my man Jake, because he’s ready all the time,” he bragged and Jake blushed when Fran laughed again. Then Harry ran to the bedroom and brought out their rings.
“I engraved them yesterday, Fran, do you want to read the inscription?” he asked and she nodded and took one of the rings.
“Your heart, my heart, one heart forever,” she read aloud. “How beautiful, oh, Harry, I’m going to cry,” she said and started to sniffle. Jake grinned and brought Harry down to sit on his lap.
“That’s right, babe, you and me forever, I’m never going to leave you,” he said firmly. Harry looked at him.
“You promise?” he asked. Jake nodded.
“I promise,” he said. Fran beamed at them.
“This is so romantic, I feel like I’m living in a fairy tale,” she gushed. Just then there was a knock on the door. She got up. “Don’t get up, I’ll get it.” She walked to the door. Jake and Harry stayed in the kitchen admiring their rings.
“Harry, it’s your evil mother,” Fran called out. They heard Kate’s voice.
“Really, Fran, don’t exaggerate.”
“Be nice,” Jake warned as they walked into the foyer. Harry made a face.
“Hi, Mom, have you come to apologize?” He greeted her calmly. Kate sighed.
“Yes, Henry, actually I have, I was totally out
